Three races in - four points separating top three

The updated Grand Prix standings are now live and there are just four points separating the top three women.

Emma Stepto (handicap MINUS 1.0) is currently top of the table with 737 points. Emily Wicks (hanidcap MINUS 0.1) is sitting in second with 734 and Rachel Fenton (handicap 0.3) is third with 733. Their finishing positions and points in each of the races on the table below show how closely these runners push each other as they play cat and mouse for the top positions. Emma has come out on top in two of the three races (the half marathon in Reading and the Bristol 10k) but Rachel had very good results in the shorter 10k races (Bristol and London) and finished in front of Emma and Emily at London. There is everything to play for in the autumn races of the series.

Scott Overall (handicap MINUS 5.3) is currently at the top of the men's table with a massive 948 points. He scored 350 at Reading: 250 for winning and an extra 100 for running sub 65 minutes. He then picked up 250 at Bristol for winning and 348 in London: 248 for finishing 3rd and and extra 100 for running sub 30 minutes. He is currently 221 points ahead of James Connor (handicap MINUS 4.3), who is in second place.

The next race in the series is the Trafford BMC 10,000m Track Festival on 6th September where runners will tackle the 10k distance with 25 laps of the 400m track.
